5 Menopause Myths Debunked!

With all the misinformation that’s being passed around, adding on to the weight of the many meno-symptoms you’re enduring daily...

It can feel like you’re stuck in menopause hell, without ways of navigation, just like the cargo ship that’s stuck in the Suez Canal.

It’s no wonder so many women liken menopause to a cruel prank played by Mother Nature — because like most pranks, being kept in the dark and not knowing what to expect next is the biggest bummer.

But we’re here to clear the air!

Knowing is half the battle won, especially when it comes to menopause — a topic rarely talked about in conversations.

To help you stay one step ahead of menopause, we’re here to debunk these top 5 myths & misinformation:

Menopause Myth #1: You Only Experience It in Your 50s

The average of menopause is indeed 51, but that number is not a definite one.

The timing of menopause is different for most women, but it’s mostly based on genetics. So if your family members like your sister, mother or grandmother went through menopause during their mid 40s, there’s a high chance you might too.

Not to mention that women go through surgical procedures like hysterectomy etc. that can induce an earlier menopause.

P.S. It’s also a myth that the earlier you start menstruating, the earlier you're going to go through menopause.

Menopause Myth #2: Doctors Know How to Deal With Menopause

Your gynecologist may be the perfect physician to usher you through this phase, but there’s no guarantee.

Most doctors don’t receive training in menopause, so if you’re in your 40s and your doctor hasn’t brought up menopause and it’s symptoms to you, chances are he/she might not be well versed in that area. 

To find a doctor who is also a menopause expert, go to menopause.org; you’ll find North American Menopause Society-certified practitioners near you.

Menopause Myth #3: No More Sex

You can still have a happy and fun sex life — just don’t forget the lube!

When your estrogen levels drop during menopause, it can lead to vaginal dryness and irritation. 

Which is where lube comes in. Doctors recommend using one that’s pH balanced, preservative-free, and has ‘low osmolality’ (how much one substance is prone to dissolve in another substance).

Menopause Myth #4: Hot Flashes Don't Last Long

Hot flashes won't last a lifetime. However, they're not exactly a short-term symptom either.

For Caucasian women, hot flashes can occur for 7 to 10 years. For African American women it's even longer and for Asian women a little shorter.

With that noted, the most intense hot flashes often occur in the first two to three years of menopause, so avoid hot flash triggers like alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and spicy foods.

Menopause Myth #5: Hormones Are the Only Treatment Options

HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) isn’t the only treatment option for menopause. 

HRT can be harsh, and come with side effects for some women, so they resort to more natural ways like yoga, meditation and acupuncture to help with their meno-symptoms.

Some even have a diet rich in phytoestrogen, a plant compound that mimics estrogen when ingested into the body, helping to rebalance hormones naturally.
